I really love my new New Holland T1510.. Power steering, and loader. Does most things I need it to but...
I have some Trees of Heaven all over my property. The name is misleading; they sprout like weeds, will kill anything around them to get the water in the soil and they really are spawned from Satan's seed.
I tried pulling one out with a 7 inch trunk today with the New Holland and it just spun the tires. 4wd didn't make a difference.

I jump started the old Massey TO35, with TURF tires, and hooked up. It pulled the tree out like popping a cork. I guess I better do something with the brakes, though. After I pulled the tree out, I realized I still had the parking brake on. Something to be said about old iron.
 
"In China, the tree of heaven has a long and rich history. It was mentioned in the oldest extant Chinese dictionary and listed in countless Chinese medical texts for its purported ability to cure ailments ranging from mental illness to baldness. The roots, leaves and bark are still used today in traditional Chinese medicine, primarily as an astringent. The tree was first brought from China to Europe in the 1740s and to the United States in 1784." Wikipedia

Ailanthus, no question a weed. I pluck them with my Cat loader, to which my Dept. of Forestry applauds. 12" diameter, no problem to uproot. Also old iron, 50 yrs, great hydraulics.

I was surprised to discover how large the grove was, 60' tall. Lots of sun for natives now.
 
"listed in countless Chinese medical texts for its purported ability to cure ailments ranging from mental illness to baldness."

Maybe we should send some to joe nnalert!
